That would be fine if it wasn't of a commercial nature. Fair use doesn't apply here.

That's probably true according to this article on the subject:

But the cease and desist letter, by itself, is great advertising. I didn't even know Bloom County was still around until I saw this thread.

This is vastly oversimplified, but basically Trump is a public figure and can't object to Bloom County's satirical use of him in the strip's content. First Amendment, d'oh.
However, the use of his image in ads is something he can protect. A lot of FB ads do this - photoshop their t-shirt on a famous actor or other public figure. The public figure can make them stop doing this.
